OSAMA Bin Laden’s mother lives in luxury in a Saudi mansion and remains in “denial” about her "loving" mass-murdering son, as she speaks out for the first time. Alia Ghanem’s home in Jeddah is decorated with framed pictures of the 9/11 mastermind who was shot dead by US special forces in 2011. The Bin Laden family remains of Saudi Arabia’s richest dynasties, thanks to their construction empire, and their movements remain closely monitored by the regime. Speaking with The Guardian, Ghanem called her Al Qaeda leader son a “good kid who loved her so much.” Her plush home includes a large spiral staircase at its centre centrepiece which leads to a number of cavernous rooms, according to the report. Despite Osama singlehandedly ruining the family name, his mother’s mansion features framed pictures of the depraved jihadi killer. Incredible Osama bin Laden home videos released by CIA show Al-Qaeda mastermind’s kids playing with animals and … [Read more...] about Osama Bin Laden’s mum breaks silence for the first time as it’s revealed she lives in extreme luxury in Saudi with photos of the 9/11 mastermind all over her house

Infection rates went up instead of down. In veterans’ blood streams. In their urinary tracts. Patient satisfaction went down instead of up. Employee satisfaction tanked. The hospital declined so much that a senior VA health executive put local and regional officials on notice last month that the situation is under investigation and more “leadership changes” could be in store, according to internal documents obtained by USA TODAY. But the group of anonymous employees has little faith in the effort. They wrote to newly minted VA Secretary Robert Wilkie this week … [Read more...] about VA staff plea: End ‘incompetence’ and fix worsening conditions at DC hospital

A right-wing extremist who was caught with a bomb making kit after emergency services rushed to his home answering a 999 call has been jailed. Police called in to search 35-year-old Peter Morgan's flat after a woman collapsed found a glass bottle studded with lead shot and nail gun rounds along with explosive powder, fuses, screws and steel tacks. An Army bomb disposal expert told the High Court in Edinburgh that a "quite effective, viable" improvised explosive device (IED) could have been made from the items discovered. Sergeant Liam Davies told prosecution lawyer Ashley Edwards QC: "I believe that this is a bomb in construction or waiting to be constructed." The experienced explosive ordnance disposal soldier said the complicated weapon could cause "horrific injury" with severe bleeding and potential death without prompt medical intervention. He said the potential shrapnel glued to the exterior of the vinegar shaker was telling and if the screws and tacks were put in with an … [Read more...] about Scottish Defence League thug caught with bomb making kit and Nazi flag

"She lived with … [Read more...] about Heartbroken family of Shakira Pellow pay tear-jerking tribute to ‘bubbly, pain in the a**e’ schoolgirl, 15, whose smile ‘would light up a room’
